MULTITHREAD USAGE

Thread Safe: Yes

Cancel Safe: Yes

These functions can be called safely in a multithreaded environment. They may be cancellation points in

that they call functions that are cancel points.

In a multithreaded environment, these functions are not safe to be called by a child process after

fork()

and before exec(). These functions should not be called by a multithreaded application that support

asynchronous cancellation or asynchronous signals.

WARNINGS

Programs that use the interfaces described in this manpage cannot be linked statically since the imple-

mentations of these functions employ dynamic loading and linking of shared objects at run time.
